To meet the expenses for construction, repair, and renovation of the collegebuilding and premises, money from this fund is used. The Local Management Committee also appeals fordonations to this fund, in case of need only. Moreover, St Sebastian Church also advances and donates intimes of emergency to meet the expenses for construction, repair, and renovation of the college buildingand premises.

Ø The Principal is the Chief Disbursing Officer concerning the payment of salary, other statutorycontributions, and payments towards the day-to-day administration of the College, which is done inconsultation with the Correspondent.

/89 02-12-2020 10:19:22



To give a source of income for passing out students by helping them to earn minimum balance from theatre

The Context:

As the theatre activities in Mangalore were declining, and the existing theatre activities were givingimportance only for the traditional theatre, the only hope of reviving the theatre was catching the youngminds to instil interest in them for theatre. With this objective in mind, we initiated the theatre classes inour College by forming a group of interested first-year students and trained them in theatre skills, and a full-length play was produced for the public, for which there was a massive crowd of nearing three thousandpeople. Thirty-five student-artists were given training in all theatre aspects.

The students who participated in theatre activity overcame the stage fear, performed well in studies, readyfor manual work, ready to learn and interested in reading. The above changes prompted us to start PaduaRanga Adhyayana Kendra, the dramatics club of the College to train students for three years during theirextracurricular activities and other times in the theatre and theatre-related activities like film review, scriptreading, storytelling, enacting poetry, learning technical skills such as sounds engineering, lights operating,designing the properties, stage backdrops, which are most useful in glamorizing the event.

The Practice:

1.Training and Production:

Before taking a new project, the team reads the script and discusses. Once the Production starts casting isdone, and each person works on his character. The director then approves and helps in development. Alongwith the actors, offstage management like Light designing and music arrangements are simultaneouslyprepared. Repeated practices before the show and review after the show from the audience and actors issought for improvement.

2.Theatre journey :

The Theatre journey is a platform for awareness and understanding of social issues. It also focuses on theinculcation of values. Theatre Journey provides to the students theatre-related learning, an opportunity andexperience to perform in various institutions and constant exposure to theatre. Under Theatre Journey theteam has performed several full-length plays, street plays on various issues. The Theatre Journey consistsof actors and a technical team who go around and perform. Performance is followed by a constructivereview is taken.

3.Theatre Hub:

Theatre Hub is a platform to perform, involve in theatre-related activities to enrich the theatre Knowledgeof the audience and give them a chance to review a play and most nominated movies. Along with thestudents, the Theatre Hub provides a chance for other theatre troupes to perform in our campus. Tenprofessional theatre groups have come together in organizing this weekend's program, and have staged 52performances to date. Theatre Hub has encouraged the Students to act and direct short films.

4. Theatre Expo :

Theatre Expo is a platform to train students and others in the theatre. It organizes workshops and one-day

/89 02-12-2020 10:19:22


camps. The expertise learnt enables outgoing students to earn from the theatre.

The daughter troupes of 'Padua RangaAdhyayana Kendra' are "Logo's Theatre Troup", and "Astitva"lead many programs and camps. Recently 100 days workshop for twenty selected applicants took place,which consisted of training from eminent resource personalities graduated from the National School ofDrama, Rangayana, and Neenasam. Under this program, short plays have been directed in various schoolsand colleges for cultural functions. Our teammates teach theatre subject in B.Ed Colleges.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

/89 02-12-2020 10:19:22


8.Made them socially conscious people

Best Practice 2:

Title of the Practice: "Mid-Day meal scheme for needy students."

Objectives:

1.To provide healthy and hot food for the students as many of our students come from far awayplaces, and find it challenging to prepare and bring their food.

2.To share nearly 50% of the burden of the meal of the students.3.To avoid the students being late to the classes as the lunch break is short and as there are no many

hotels around the College.4.To avoid losing attendance and the lecture5.To provide free meals to the poorest of the poor students and selected sports students

The Context: Though preparing the meal here in the College could have reduced the price per meal; itwas not possible for us due to the lack of space in the kitchen.

The Practice:

The government indeed provides mid-day meal for the students till the 10th standard. However, it is a rarepractice in private Undergraduate Colleges.But in our College, the venture has become a success. The mealis served in the verandah of the Auditorium. Students eat sitting in the classroom or the Auditorium. Alecturer is given in charge of this task. He assigns a group of students for serving the meal for a week.

The students are provided with meals at a subsidized rate of nearly 50%.Finance for this purpose iscollected by way of donations from generous people and the parents of the students and by organizingfancy-fete and lucky draws. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is served during the mid-day meal.

Evidence of Success:

More than 50% of our students indeed bring their mid-day meal from home, but another significant sectionof the students opt for the mid-day meal. Students enquiring about the mid-day meal and eating mid-daymeal itself is the evidence for its success.

/89 02-12-2020 10:19:22


Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Since the provision of the food is outsourced to a caterer, sometimes there are complaints regardingquality.Students bear only 50% of the cost of the meal. Making arrangements for the rest of the amount bythe College becomes a difficult task for the College.

Additional Information :

As our College is approaching the decennial year of its existence, our plans for expansion are also blooming.We have applied to the Mangalore University to start BCA Program and our appeal has already been approved.Hence we are now all set to provide quality education in a new field to the students. We are also proud to statethat the prevailing condition of Covid 19 has not stopped the staff and students from imbibing knowledgethrough webinars and workshops. A National level Webinar was also organised to the staff on July 25th 2020.With a lot of deliberations and discussions, noting the growing needs of a student not, it is also decided to startmore certificate courses to the students. Two of our faculty members secured the seats to pursue PhD inSrinivas University.

Concluding Remarks :

Based on the SWOC analysis, we are trying to strengthen our strengths, weaken our weaknesses, bravely facethe challenges while trying to convert them into positive points and always find a way to exploit theopportunities. We learn as we proceed, as our College is still in its infancy stage, we have the advantage tolearn and adopt new techniques and methods to achieve our objective of imparting quality education to thestudents and transforming them into better human beings and responsible citizens.

The global pandemic of COVID has initiated a new learning and teaching experience to the students and thefaculty, as the online classes is a necessity. Every staff member has learned to use online platforms such asGoogle Meet, Google classroom and our students are adept at virtual learning. During the pandemic and afterthe reopening of virtual classes, Whatsapp groups for each class have been created for accessiblecommunication. One of the positive consequences of the pandemic has been the ability of staff and students toadapt them to the situation, and while reinventing themselves, they have adopted technology-aided innovativeteaching methods, resulting in student-centric teaching and learning experience.

As the saying goes, no slice is thin enough to have only one side to it. We have our strengths and weaknesses.However, we have the grit and determination to face the challenges, overcome our weaknesses and bank uponour strengths to take the College to greater heights in making education more productive and progressive forour staff and students.
